Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked degenerative muscle disease affecting 1 in 3500 males and is characterized by severe muscle inflammation and a progressive decline in muscle function. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of an ethanol extract of the root of Paeonia lactiflora Pall. (PL) on the muscle function in the muscular dystrophy X-linked (mdx) mouse, the most commonly used animal model of DMD.
